FIXED IT
Ok so I have been getting a lot of messages recently from people saying they have the same problem with paint tool SAI so I decided to update this journal so everyone can go on working and saving files in SAI.
I don't know if there is a way to completly fix this bug but there definately is a way to avoid it!
I would like to thank FlumpyDuck for her very helpfull response:
"If you open a PSD in SAI for some reason it has a meltdown and won't save anything as .sai, so if - like I had - you've just done a couple hours' work and you don't want to lose everything, you /can/ save it as a .psd file and keep editing it from there. If you absolutely need it to be a .sai file, never open a psd while you're working on it. Otherwise I'm afraid it's start from scratch!"
so summarized:
- never open a .psd file before if you want to save a .sai, .jpg, etc.!
- if you already did without noticing and the message "failed to save canvas" appears save it as .psd and open it in photoshop or gimp or any other program which opens .psd files and save it there (as .jpg or whatever you need).
if you still don't understand, there are lots of good answers in the comments just have a look!
I really hope this helps you to fix your problem and good luck finishing your artwork c:

I'm curious about the artbook, if people want to sell I'd buy. Really curious about your book printer Futureman. Do you have a link to products and specs that would be a good introduction for an interested individual?and oh... my job has two parts... ha.
book printer and copyright clearance coordinator. So maybe I could look into some of the copyright concerns in here? Someone fill me in if they want. I love love love the work in this thread, I think a book would be so cool.
so the intention was to actually sell it?
you could PM me with any specific questions, but basically the page length needs to be between 40-850 pages and trim size is between 4.5x5 and 7.5x10.25. I need two PDFs to print, one of the entire interior and one for the cover. The machine only prints B&W interior but I figured out a way to extract the modified PDF the machine creates and I can take that to a different print shop at my work and print color. B&W is $0.03/PDF page and color is pretty pricey at $0.30/PDF page.... though if I was actually doing the GAF book I could probably get better pricing for color. The machine creates perfect bound paperback books.
I dunno if I mentioned earlier, but it's called the Espresso Book Machine if you wanted to Google it. I believe there are around 70 in the world, I run the one in Pittsburgh.
Thanks for the feedback buddy!Thanks. Pretty neat designs too. I like the t-shirt, not crazy about the 1 down text.
I personally would find hilarious to see a clicker eating popcorn.

Lovely work mate! Splash Damage eh? I don't live far from there at all.Raaaiiddenn! Damn thats cool CB.
I think my only crit might be theres some confusion with the overlap of hims arms. I feel like it needs a little bit of shadows from the arms, or ambient occlusion to help give it some depth. That said, I always like the flatness of your work CB, they feel like tarrot cars or Mucha paintings. Very cool.
I finished my work on Batman Arkham Origins a little while ago, and I can finally post some work.
Heres a few pieces (more on my blog);

No animators needed I take it?![]()
Bromley.Thanks, Where do you live? You can always apply, get your application in the pile. Animators are always a core part of studio, if we ramp up for anything I'm sure animators are always looked at.
That sounds like quite the combination! :Oa 2D beat-em up/life management sim
